Harvard KSG on ‘Unmanned and Robotic Warfare’ Drew Conway
Kudos to Mike Innes and CTLab Review for organizing this symposium on Wired for War: The Robotics Revolution and Conflict in the 21st Century, which has an impressive roster of scholars, bloggers and the author Peter Singer participating. I just began reading Wired for War last night and it is excellent, the must read “future of warfare”book for 2009.
(I am however, disturbed by the frequency of pop cultural references from my youth in Wired for War, which, if read in a tome on modern warfare, presents the reader with the inescapable conclusion that they are getting….old)
